Ling Xiao quickly refuted and put the blame on Tan Hongbo.
Ling Qingwan could guess with her toes that Ling Xiao himself could not do such a thing as secretly watching. He was a very upright man, who behaved in a very strict manner and followed the rules.
So in her previous life, Ling Qingwan had also wondered why Ling Xiao had such a good relationship with Tan Hongbo. It was obvious that they were not of the same kind.
Now that I think about it, most things about love are hard to explain. Isn't that the case with her and Wei Xun? Ling Qingwan still remembers that when she first knew she was reborn, she swore that she would never fall in love again in this life.
"Speaking of you and the Seventh Prince, Wanwan, have you really made up your mind to wait for him?" Ling Xiao looked a little anxious.
"Did he tell you that?" Ling Qingwan noticed. This was the first time she had mentioned Wei Xun to Ling Xiao since she said goodbye to him. Who else would tell Ling Xiao except Wei Xun
"Yes." Ling Xiao was also a simple-minded person, especially in front of Ling Qingwan. He answered whatever Ling Qingwan asked him. "He said that you two agreed to get married in two years. He also told me that if I treated him as a friend, I would help you get rid of any man who loved you."
Ling Qingwan couldn't help but covered her mouth and laughed.
Before Wei Xun even arrived at the border, he began to worry about whether there would be other beautiful women around her. How would she survive the next two years
However, Ling Qingwan also knew that Wei Xun was always sensible and had his own ideas. No matter where he settled, he would be able to live well. And she also had important things to do.
Ye Yun, Ling Chuchu, the old lady, Ling Feng, the queen, and... Bai Yuetong.
When they returned to Ling Mansion, it was already time for lunch. Ling Xiao had some business to attend to, so he went to the palace first. Ling Qingwan was not hungry, so she went straight back to Iris Pavilion.
"Where is Nanny Park?" Ling Qingwan was still thinking about what Wei Xun had said to her.
"To answer Miss, Nanny Park should be with the Madam." Qiao'er replied.
"Please ask her to come over. I have something to ask her." Ling Qingwan was eager to know what Wei Xun had left for her.
It first passed through Shen Chengzhou and then to her, so this thing must not be an ordinary item. Ling Qingwan was curious, but also worried whether she could be called worthy of this gift.
Nanny Park came quickly, holding a long and narrow box in her hands.
"Give it to me." Without waiting for Nanny Park to speak, Ling Qingwan spread out her hands and took it.
When the box was opened, there was a scroll wrapped in bright yellow brocade. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was undoubtedly an imperial edict.
Ling Qingwan was a little frightened. The imperial edict felt heavy in her hand, as if it weighed a thousand pounds.
Wei Xun actually gave her an imperial edict.
"Miss, this..." Nanny Pu and Qiao'er looked at each other in surprise.
Qiao'er was quick-witted and immediately turned around and closed the door, fearing that someone would see her. Ling Qingwan opened it and found that it was the emperor's decree granting her and the prince a marriage. It just didn't have a time stamp, but everything else was there, including the emperor's imperial seal and a personal certificate.
Ling Qingwan felt warm in her heart.
She knew that Wei Xun knew she would make some moves in the future, and fearing that she would be in danger, he gave her the imperial edict. If she really reached a desperate situation, she only needed to sign the date on the imperial edict, and it would take effect immediately, and she would be the Crown Princess of Dai Viet.
With this amulet, few people in Tokyo or even the whole of Dai Viet can touch her.
After Ling Qingwan was moved, she hid the imperial edict. She now had another important thing to do.
He An wanted to harm her and was punished, but there is still someone at large, that is Bai Yuetong. Wei Xun killed He An just to avenge her. Bai Yuetong also contributed to He An's murder. Ling Qingwan will take revenge if she has a grudge. If she can take it today, she will never wait until the next day.
Since He An is dead, Bai Yuetong can't live well either.
The backyard of the residence of the Minister of Justice.
"Miss, you can't go out."
When Bai Yuetong reached the gate of the courtyard, she was stopped by the guards. Two fat and strong men stood in front of her, blocking the gate tightly, which looked like a wall from a distance.
"The master said that you can only stay in your room during this period and can't go anywhere." The guard added.
"It's been almost ten days. When can I go out?" Bai Yuetong was depressed, with her brows furrowed.
"That... I don't know either." The guard replied in embarrassment. "But don't worry, Miss. As long as the master lets you know, I will let you out immediately."
"Just talking nonsense." Bai Yuetong glared at the guard unhappily, turned around and went back to her room angrily.
There were crackling noises coming from the house, and teacups and vases were thrown out of the window from time to time. The guards and maids were no longer surprised.
Bai Yuetong has gotten angry like this several times in the past few days.
"What does Daddy mean? Why can't he defeat old man Shen Chengzhou, so he asks me to find a way to destroy his granddaughter? Now the truth has been revealed, He An is dead, and I am locked in the house, unable to go anywhere." Bai Yuetong was furious. She scolded Wei Xun and Ling Qingwan a few days ago, and started scolding Bai Xu these days.
Fortunately, Bai Xu was not in the mansion and could not hear it, so the guards and maids breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, please don't be angry. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt." Rong'er said in a gentle voice. "You see, it was because Uncle He passed away that the master was afraid that you would be in danger, so he let you stay in the mansion. In name, it seems that he is putting you under house arrest and preventing you from going out, but in fact it may not be to protect you."
"He An was killed by the Seventh Prince, who went to the border this morning. How could he come back to kill me?" Bai Yuetong was very disdainful. "I think what people say is true, Ling Qingwan is really good at seducing men, even the Seventh Prince killed for her."
Bai Yuetong was very emotional, and Rong'er tried to persuade her a few times, but she refused to listen, so she had to shut up and keep silent.
"Don't look so sad, it looks unlucky." Bai Yuetong was depressed, and she became even more annoyed when she saw Rong'er. "Get out! Get out now!"
Rong'er was chased out of the house.
With a bang, the door closed. Then, Bai Yuetong's eyes went dark and she passed out.
When she woke up, she was already lying in the grass on the back hill. Bai Yuetong realized something was wrong and tried to get up, but she felt limp all over, her bones seemed brittle, and she had no strength to move.
"Who! Who brought me here!" Bai Yuetong was furious and yelled at the people around her. "Come out quickly! Otherwise, I will tell my dad. If he knows that you bullied me, he will never let you go."
But there was no one around, and no matter how she shouted, no one responded.
Perhaps because she was tired of shouting, Bai Yuetong's chest began to feel hot, and then her whole body felt hot as well, as if it was on fire.
